Thanks guys I'm happy with the results. I decided not to go with the F exhaust because it's louder. At least that what I have read. Besides Tanube was on sale so that closed the deal for me. Should arrive this week.

Yes. I purchased the side turn signals (outer cover only) from Nigel. The install was a little difficult but got done in about 6 hours. I took my time and did it right. I do have to say one thing on the turn signal mirrors. The fit and Paint was not exact. But I'm a perfectionist. If I had to do it over, I would go with the turn mirrors from Sewell. Yes, It's priced much more but I kinda wish I went with it.

do know that it is almost impossible to match crystal white or starfire pearl without blending with other parts of your car. It is not nigels fault and I think sewell will have the same issue.

Don't get me wrong. I don't blame Nigel at all. As a matter a fact, he seems like a nice guy. I picked up the parts from him since I was in Cali for the Holidays. I only say that I wished I went with Sewell because the mirror comes as a entire assembely, not just the outer cover. This would of ensure a assembely match.

I would be happy to and plan to do business with Nigel in the near future.
